 Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 12:58 am Post subject: mounting a directory of a partition [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have Ubuntu installed on /dev/hda1. Gentoo runs on /dev/hda2. The boot directory is /dev/sda1/boot. In gentoo when I mount boot
/etc/fstab:
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
|
I have to copy everything to /boot/boot. Is there a way I can mount /dev/sda1/boot on /boot?

First thing: your post conflicts with your fstab; how can Ubuntu be installed on your swap partition (/dev/hda1)?
Anyway, you could use a bind mount:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /dummy ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dummy/boot /boot bind noauto 0 0 |

Sorry, I meant /dev/sda1. Thanks for the info. That is what I needed.
Here is what I put in /etc/fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /mnt/dummy ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2
/mnt/dummy/boot /boot none bind,noauto 0 0
|
I just have to mount dummy before mounting /boot. |

Yeah, I screwed up the options there. You figured it out, though.  |
